"Lucy!"
"Natsu!"
Natsu reached out to Lucy, sprinting towards her. As he grabbed her hand, a spell was shot at their direction. Natsu tried to block the attack, but it was too late. His spell was too powerful. Lucy and Natsu were on the ground, hands stretched out. He walked towards them.
"It's a shame Natsu. If only you were strong enough." he said pitifully, looking at Lucy's injuries. She was losing a lot blood. Fast.
"Shut up, Zeref." Natsu sneered. He didn't want to be reminded about his weakness. First he lost Makarov. Then he lost Happy. Slowly, all the Fairy Tail members started disappearing. It was only him and Lucy now.
"Judging from your wounds, you'll probably die soon with the girl. Might as well leave you two to die together. That will be my final gift to you." Zeref mumbled as he started to walk away.
He gritted his teeth. Zeref was right. Natsu's body couldn't move an inch. He was bleeding badly and pretty soon, he will die. But before he could, he need to tell her something.
"L-lucy." Natsu tried to speak like normally would, but it only came out weak. He was lucky that Lucy was close or she wouldn't have heard it.
"Yeah...Natsu?" she breathed. Her breathing was shallow and she knew it. Pretty soon, she would be seeing her mother and father.
"I...I love...you." he said trying to regain his strength. He couldn't.
"I...too." she said in a quiet whisper. She was tired. All she wanted to do was close her eyes.
Natsu, who heard her words, gathered the lasts of his strength and held her hand.
"If...we're e...ver...re...born...I'll...I'll find...you...and...lo...ve...you...again..." he promised. With his last breath, he whispered the words, "No...matter...what."
But his last words weren't heard by Lucy. She already closed her eyes. Her heartbeat stopped. She was gone. And pretty soon, Natsu stopped breathing as well.
Zeref was long gone before Natsu could say his last words. But when he left, someone else came. Someone else who heard both their last words. She gazed at the two's dead bodies, both holding each other with smiles on their faces.
"One who died after finally admitting her feelings for the other and one who died after making a promise that can change fate itself." She thought sadly. "The least I can do is help him fulfill his promise."
With those words, that someone else tied a string to the two. But this string is not the red string of fate. It a pure, white string. The string of Rebirth. No matter what, the two will be enter the Gate of Rebirth together.
Smiling at her work, she gave them her blessing.
"From the goddess of fate herself, I will guide both of you to each other. May the two of you walk the earth together in happiness and love." she said. Once she finished, she disappeared in a flash of gold light.
The moment she left, the process of rebirth began.
Hello everybody! This is the start of my new story! Here is the basic idea of this prologue:
Natsu and Lucy get severely injured while fighting Zeref. Zeref pitied them and knowing that they will die anyways from his spell, gave them his "final gift"; the gift to die in each others arms. He leaves, not knowing that someone, a goddess, was watching. The goddess watches as Natsu confesses his love to Lucy with and Lucy admitting hers with their last breathes. The two smile at each other in happiness. Natsu tells Lucy he promises that if they're both reincarnated, he will find her and confess his love all over again. Lucy did not respond back. She died before hearing those words. Natsu eventually dies too. The goddess, who heard Natsu's promise and their confessions was touched by the love the two had and was sad they couldn't stay as a couple for long. She, the goddess of fate, could not change what had already happened, but she could help Natsu and his promise. She tied the white string of rebirth (I made that up) to the two to make sure they will always go through the process of rebirth together. This didn't mean they would be born at the exact same time, but around the same time. She gave them her blessing and promised to guide Natsu and Lucy to meet each other. She left, leaving the bodies of the two to rest. The moment she left, Natsu and Lucy have already entered the Gate of Rebirth together.
This story will be kinda like a chapter or two will equal to one rebirth. So basically, this story will contain mini stories of Natsu's and Lucy's reincarnated selves and how they found each other and loved each other over and over again, even after being reborn many times. Their appearance might change every time they are reincarnated (Natsu might have black hair or Lucy might have green eyes), but there is a reason for that. Based on my great imagination and logic, I think that every time a soul is reborn, they don't have the exact same features as they did in the past. A person's appearance is based on their DNA. So, Natsu and Lucy will look different in a way, but they will have something that you can immediately recognize to be their past selves (Lucy might have her keys or Natsu might have his scarf).
Anyways, that's all I have to tell you about this fanfic. Well...almost. Though the two will be reborn together, they might not be reincarnated in Earthland. So, they will be in some other world that is different from Earthland every time they are reincarnated or end up in a world they have already been in. (a world like that has no magic, a world where vampire's and humans are at war, etc.).
Now I'm done explaining. Thanks for reading this prologue and if you're interested in helping me, please pm. I desperately need a Beta Reader. I also need ideas of their situation, the world and other stuff they are in every time they reincarnate. If I use you're idea, I promise to give you credit for this idea. Thank you for taking time to read this long author's note. I do not own anything other than my ideas.
